Is there a website for HTTP status code just like gitmoji.dev?

3 points by d3nigma 4 years ago · 7 comments · 1 min read


Whenever I need to design an API for a service, I am a bit lost with the HTTP status codes.

So what I kinda need is a simple, clear & searchable website with all status codes (number, name, description, example).

Knowing the web. Something like this is probably already out there, but I haven't found it yet.

What is wrong with the first two results from Google? I get wikipedia (the source I've used when needed) and a Mozilla page. Both are solid.

    True, they are solid, but don't provide a compact as well as enjoyable overview. I mean, I could also just look up the GitHub emoji reference instead of gitmoji. As for the Mozilla docs, they feel like a bottomless pit.

      sure, but there are thousands of emoji. There are four classes of status code (2xx success stuff, 3xx moved stuff, 4xx user made a boo boo, and 5xx server had a problem). The wikipedia page shows _all_ codes and you barely have to scroll. In 15+ years of webdev, I've made use of 16 codes. I've gone to that wiki article maybe a few dozen times to clarify something.

This one might be my favorite: https://http.cat/

The MDN docs on them are a good reference, too.

I patched together https://httpstatuses.net after seeing that https://httpstatuses.com was "corporatized"
